Glass Square in Purple
« on: July 22, 2011, 06:42:46 PM »
Square glass vase in purpe or amethyst - 3.5" high, 3" wide (not an exact square)

Swirled glass sides and ground pontil to base

Any idea of maker and date?

swirled sides like that aren't generally deliberate but are from where the glass touches the cool sides of the mould.  :thup:

Mouth-blown and probably a studio piece.
